In a poignant interview, the star's closest sister La Toya reveals how she led Paris, 12, Prince Michael, 11, and seven-year-old Blanket to Michael's side to say goodbye to him just after he died.


"It was Paris who said she wanted to see her daddy 'one last time'," says La Toya. "So I took them into the room. There was a towel over his face. I lifted it and Paris said, 'Oh Daddy, I love you'.

"We hugged, and I kissed him on the forehead and the children lifted up his hands. He just didn't look like he was gone. His eyes were half open, it was as if he was resting.

"The kids had been screaming - but once they were in that room and saw Michael they stopped and became calm."

Robert Pattinson just got a whole lot more attractive!

According to one of his former girlfriends — an actress who Rob dated for around two months last year after meeting her through friends — the Twilight hunk is “amazing” in bed.

“We just had this chemistry between us that made our kisses amazing,” the ex told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “I felt electricity go between us!

“I’m really passionate, as is he. That’s why, no matter how much we fought, it was always amazing in bed!”

“We’d glance at each other throughout the night because it made it more exciting when we got home,” added Rob’s former flame. “The tension was so strong, we couldn’t control ourselves. It was amazing!”

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Brit has apparently ended his short-lived romance with Kristen Stewart and is now romancing his Remember Me costar Emilie de Ravin.

“Robert met Emilie a while ago and has always liked her,” a source close to Rob recently dished to Life & Style magazine. “He’s the one who suggested to the producers at Summit [the same production company responsible for the Twilight series] that she’d be perfect for Remember Me. In the original screenplay, her part was written for an actress of Mexican descent.”

MORGAN FREEMAN's publicist has dismissed new reports the movie star is to wed his step-granddaughter.

U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claims the Shawshank Redemption star, 72, is romancing 27-year-old E’Dena Hines, and the couple is planning to wed once the actor's divorce from his second wife Myrna Colley-Lee is final.

But Freeman's spokesman, Dave Falkenstein, insists the story is, "complete garbage."

Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte sure knows how to rock his own style even on the medal stand after successfully winning the 400 IM race. Lochte sports cool Red Creative Recreation kicks paired with his swimming gear at the 2009 ConocoPhillips Nationals Championships & World Championship Trial. Ryan told us, “I think I am the only one to ever wear those kind of shoes on the award stand.” Back in 07′ World Championships in Melbourne, Lochte was the first to wear grills on the medal stand. Wonder what he’s going to wear at the 2009 World Championship in Rome?!



( iced out to the fullest... and image heavy )

Ryan qualified for 4 individual events for the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome starting July 26th... 200IM (Gold-- missed the WR by .33!), 400IM (Gold), 200m Backstroke (Silver), and the 200m Freestyle (Bronze). He also is qualified for the 4x100m and 4x200m Freestyle Relays.


He and Cullen Jones (Jersey, LOVE!) are in a style war. Love me some Cullen Jones, too.

Emma, why don't you dump your balding boyfriend & hook-up with this hottie?

Filipino-Canadian actress Jane McLean is playing Charisse in The Time Traveler's Wife, which stars Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana.

It's kind of a long interview, but she seems sweet in it, and she offers some nice insights on the production process. In any case, bolded for the tl;dr crowd.

What was your reaction when you got the part in The Time Traveler's Wife?
McLean: Oh boy, what was my reaction? I was really excited about it. When the opportunity first presented itself it was supposed to be cast in Los Angeles and I wasn't in LA at the time, I was in Toronto, and I hadn't moved there yet. My first thought was "Okay, well they're going to read every girl for this, so whatever." My manager, because he was so excited about the project said, "You know, the director is in Toronto, location scouting, we have to set this up. You have to meet him." It was so serendipitous that we were both in Toronto, and they set up a special session to cast my character. I read the script but I hadn't read the book at that time. I bought the book two years before, but I didn't read it. I started to get really excited about it because the script is just phenomenal. I remember thinking to myself, "Okay, you are not reading the book until the deal is done" because I didn't want to jinx myself! You know! I got the offer. I was one of the very first after, obviously, the main leads, Rachel and Eric.

How did you approach playing Charisse, Clare's best friend?
McLean: In terms of preparation for it, a lot of thought was put towards prior experiences of my own. Specifically those of my relationship with my sisters, you know, like the relationship that Charisse has with Clare. They've got a very strong sisterhood bond. Also too, we were very fortunate; Ron Livingston and I, to have had an opportunity before we even started shooting, to go shopping for each other's characters in Kensington Market. We were picking out clothes for each other's characters. It was the director's idea. He said "You know, I really want you guys to spend time together" and he did the same thing with Eric and Rachel's characters, specifically with Eric where they brought the child that was playing their own child, Alba, to the ROM. So there was just a lot of care put into developing these characters. (Ngl, I liked this idea)
